The Issuers intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (i) to refinance indebtedness, (ii) to provide cash for upcoming payments and (iii) to pay expenses of the offering and refinancing. The remaining proceeds, if any, will be used to finance the ongoing working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate needs of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside of the United States, to persons other than "U.S. persons" in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities law.
Concurrently with the closing of the offering, the Issuers intend to enter into a new $50.0 million revolving loan facility, which is expected to be undrawn as of the closing of the offering.
This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
